A dog photographer who takes hilarious pictures of dogs trying to catch cheese cubes is donating £8,000 worth of pet supplies to local food banks.
Caroline Cowan, 56, from Falkirk, manages dog photography Carrie Southerton and hosts Catathon events, which feature dogs desperately trying to get treats in their mouths, six times a year to raise money for canine charities.
Last month, the mom-of-two raised £1,355 but was disappointed by the number of people who booked but didn’t pay or show up.
Now Caroline and her husband Alasdair have teamed up with Burns pet food, which will supply around a tonne of dog food to be donated to food banks, and hope to raise another £2,000 towards their goal.

Caroline said, “It was a crazy day, but we’ve never laughed so much.” The hosts had the ball, it was brilliant.
“Only six dogs did not catch or failed to catch the cheese.
“Some were princesses and just looked at Alasdair after he threw the cheese with great disdain, as if to say how dare you throw something at me.
“But you get hilarious footage of those who don’t catch, so it was a lot of fun and the dogs loved it.”

“Over the weekend I photographed 41 dogs, we hoped for 70, but some people mocked us and didn’t come, which disappointed me.
“We opened the fundraising page because someone from America contacted us and said they might be there but would like to make a donation.
“So we hope to get to our goal with this.”
